The Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning (MATL) in English Language Arts offers a comprehensive pathway to Quebec teacher certification at the secondary school level, tailored for students who have completed an undergraduate degree in a Ministry of Education-identified teachable subject area. (Note that the department can not pre-assess prior credits for prospective students; this process happens only after applications are submitted.)

Incoming students are expected to have a passion for English Language Arts and an undergraduate background related to the subject matter.听MATL students benefit from learning through engaging coursework and practical experiential learning during two school-based internships. Moreover, students undertake an independent Capstone Research Project and curate a professional e-portfolio to showcase their skills, preparing them for future employment. Successful program completion earns graduates a recommendation for teacher certification from the Quebec Ministry of Education.
